Thanks Paul, it's great to "see" you again. Thanks for being so open to comments. #learnlap
Right now, No. I do an in person PD most Tuesdays at the University and then I do some others face to face in my district. #learnlap

QUESTION 10 (Poll):
Should we start with the first question right at 7:00pm Central or is having that five minute buffer when people are introducing themselves useful to help allow stragglers a little time to arrive?

QUESTION 4 (Open-Ended):
As we look at the future of #LearnLAP, what changes might we consider making (e.g. length of the chat, number of questions, format of the chat, topic choices, day or time of the week, social media platform, etc.)? Please explain if possible. Thank you!
With the changes to twitter, I have basically stopped using it. I used to get a lot out of chats, but it is difficult to follow and use now and more frustrating than fun after a long hard day at work. #learnlap
QUESTION 1 (Open-Ended):
What do you get out of Twitter chats? What makes them valuable enough for you to keep coming back? #LearnLAP
Twitter has limited me and I can't reply anymore, so thanks for a good chat.
#learnlap
student's assign roles and responsibilities before they start, they aren't allowed to "drive in the wrong lane" teammates can ask for help, but they aren't allowed to do it for them
#learnlap
Q5) There is often disparity in the amount of work everyone does in a group. How do you make that more fair? #LearnLAP
I stole from @PaulSolarz and I teach, rock, paper, scissors, take turns, and choose kind.
Teach listening skills & have to focus on evidence #learnlap
Q4) Disagreements can be a rubbing point for groupwork. How do you get students to compromise? #LearnLAP
start by teaching respect with sentence starters "I disagree because ______ (evidence)" "I agree and think ____"
Also use talking chips. Have each write their input, group come to consensus then share others idea (not own)
#learnlap
Kagan strategies have helped
#learnlap
accountable talk, clear procedures and practice using them.
